"And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in all the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual."- John Steinbeck

"When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow."- Anais Nin
